In 1996, Union workers were openly kidnapped and killed in South America.
Coca-Cola has been to court under these charges, directly asking the judges to let them off.
Thankfully, the judges did not, and the case went forward.
Coca-Cola and Panamco were charged with violation of the
Torture Victims Protection Act (TVPA) and the Alien Tort Claims Act (ATCA).

# I'm a bit of a fan of Mark Thomas,
Seen him live quite alot of times, one of the stories that sticks in my mind was the one of the Union Leader in Colombia who had an armed escort, rarely left the house etc, and had his family, including his infant grandaughter, living with him. They went to a conferance/speech whatever one time, and upon entering the hall, the girl just ran out into the middle of it and spread her arms, trying to consume as much as the space as she could, because she'd never been in a space so big before.

The reason? Coca Cola and their hired gunman...
